My mom is having a terrible ant problem in her kitchen for about 3 weeks now, we put all food away at night, and she has tried just about everything shes herd of to get rid of them including: chalk, borax, bleach, ant traps, hot shot max atracks roach and ant killer powder. Is there any thing else we can try before we have to call the exterminator? THANKS!

Whether I buy cheap or expensive pillows, within a few months they become flat and don't support my head and neck well. Is there a trick to keeping them plump longer?

It looks like a gnat or fruit fly. It is in Texas outdoors near water. And it bites and the bites are itchy and look like welts! Anyone know? Bugspray washes off in the pool... any other suggestions on that one? Swimming and keeping bugs away?

There is a hole in the ground in front of my house where bees fly in and out. Is there an effective and safe way to address this issue? (I saw mention of burning the hives, pesticides--does just filling the hole work?) Thanks in advance.

1. How does one decide if a sunlight lamp is high quality, while buying online?
2. Is it safe to use for getting ready in the morning, tipped up to face me while I apply makeup?
3. Really, how accurately do they simulate sunlight?
Any other facts you can share would be greatly appreciated.

I'll tell you why I'm asking so maybe my question will make better sense.

We have rented a vacation cabin, which contains two full sized beds. My significant other and I have talked about pushing them together to make one big bed so we can sleep more comfortably together. Since we have to supply our own linens for the stay at the vacation cabin, I wanted to see if I could push the full sized beds together and use my king sized sheets from home to make the beds. I thought that the king sized sheets would hold the beds together, and it would also keep me from having to purchase two sets of full sized sheets as we do not own a full sized bed.

It does not need to be wireless. Located within 200ft of house. Easy to run cables/power, as long as it is rated for outdoor use.

What would it take to make it remotely adjustable?

spa sensations theratouch memory foam mattress
would be the official name I suppose.

Has anybody owned one?
Or does anyone have anything to say about them?

Are they comparable with the pricey version in terms of comfort or durability?

I have big chunks bitten out of all the leaves on my rose bush and some of the roses as well. I have seen a couple of big green crickets on them and it seems a shame to kill them. Is it them that are eating the rose bush and does anyone know of any natural deterrent if so?

I'm excited I've had multiple offers on my house for sale. I've never been thru this, and was told most houses are on the market here avg. 90 days. I got 3 offers in less than a week! It's a cute little house in a good location.

It's under contract, and the inspector should come this week.
I'm worried about 2 things:
There's wood rot at the bottom of the walk in garage door.
The repairman said he'd cut the wood up to the 'good' part and replace it,, use some sort of filler for cracks - what do they use in case I found someone to do it cheaper? - and paint it.
He's charging $250;seems like a lot.

Is this acceptable to an inspector? Will he notice, and will he object that it's been done this way- the whole doorframe wasn't changed?

Also, I have a handful of shingles missing on the roof. It's a good roof otherwise. There is one corner a roofer told me was soft a yr ago. My neighbors fir tree dripped on it. We cut it down right away. Does that dry out or stay soft?

Thanks

I found what I thought was a spider, but it may be a tick. It was the strangest thing I've seen as far as that type of insect goes. It was black, about the size of an eraser tip, sort of flat, a little oval, it has spidery looking legs, but the top of it was flat and lemon yellow, it actually looked like a piece of lemon peel, it also had spikes along the edge of it's yellow top, almost like a crown. Does anyone have any idea what kind of insect this was?

We have had them in our house for months, and cannot have them removed commercially as it would cost vast amounts of money we just don't have.
